Other politicians have criticized the video, including Trump's former rival for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

"We've had presidents assassinated before in this country, so anything like that is something people should be really careful about," Rubio said. "I think people can disagree on policy, but we've got to be careful about that kind of thing because the wrong person sees that and gets the wrong idea and you could have a real problem."

"It's a lot of clown s*** going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about, but it's a few issues that we really wanted to lock into [for the video] like police, the president and just life in general," Snoop said prior to the President's response.

Despite the backlash received from the video, the rapper maintains it was not meant to incite a reaction from Trump, his supporters, or his critics.

"I just put it out because I feel like it's something that's missing," he said. "Any time I drop something, I'm trying to fill in a void."
